The Lenovo V15 offers a lower midrange price point and is often significantly less expensive than the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16. It's equipped with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor and integrated Vega 7 graphics, which provide solid performance for general use and light engineering tasks, but it may struggle with more demanding applications. The 15.6-inch TN display has a Full HD resolution, but the color accuracy and viewing angles are not as good as higher-end panels. With a 60Hz refresh rate, it's suitable for everyday tasks but not ideal for fast-paced gaming or professional photo and video editing. The laptop is bulkier and heavier, which affects its portability, but it does offer a good battery life for typical usage. It has a decent selection of ports, including USB-C and HDMI, and features a backlit keyboard without a number pad. The build quality is fair, and it has a good general use performance score, but it falls short in 3D rendering, machine learning, and intensive gaming. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 comes at a midrange price and often costs significantly more than the Lenovo V15. It boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite X1E84 processor with Adreno 750 graphics, which may offer better performance in certain scenarios, especially with tasks optimized for ARM architecture. The 16-inch OLED display with a 2880 x 1800 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate delivers vibrant colors, high brightness, and wide color space coverage, making it excellent for content creation and consumption. The Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is also a 2-in-1 convertible, offering versatility for those who need both laptop and tablet functionality. It's thinner, lighter, and has a very good portability score, making it easier to carry around. The laptop has a good keyboard quality score, a high-quality webcam, and superior speakers. It also has a very good build quality score and better heat management. However, it has fewer ports and no available RAM or storage slots for upgrades. It's suitable for general use, with a very good score in this category, and offers a better experience for 3D rendering and machine learning tasks, although it's not specifically marketed as a gaming laptop. In summary, if you prioritize portability, a high-quality display, versatility, and are willing to pay a premium for these features, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 16 is the better choice. However, if you're looking for a more affordable option with decent performance for everyday tasks and don't mind a bulkier design, the Lenovo V15 is a solid choice. Give Feedback

NotebookCheck

Marvin Gollor | April 2022
"The strengths of the Lenovo V15 G2 AMD lie in its expandability of the RAM and allowing you to use two SSDs, in its performance that goes beyond everyday applications thanks to AMD's hexa-core CPU and Vega-7 iGPU, in its good keyboard, and its relatively robust case. In addition, the battery life of the office laptop is also acceptable, and the device stays cool and relatively quiet."
